When I first bought the set, I was worried because there were ...no reviews on this specific item. I decided I'd give it a chance because I really did want the series and I wanted it to look nice. All I kept finding was the set with the red cover and the cover art being a kind of concept art from the games. I didn't like the way they looked and I found this version of the book set more appealing. I was worried about several things. 1) the books not being in English or it being broken English 2) the books being different sizes/them not being in uniform 3) the books being damaged or used When I finally got the books in the mail I was very pleased with the results. I'm sure they used the same translation as the red book cover series for this one so I was able to quickly transition from the red cover edition to the nicer looking one. The books are all the same size and though there is a very slight discoloration between them (some are a bit darker black color than others), they still look fantastic together. It's barely noticeable, but I felt like sharing that in case it truly matters to you. Lastly, the books were in great condition. I would recommend this purchase even though it's missing the last book (Lady of the Lake). It's my first purchase from eBay, and I was not disappointed. Side note: the delivery date was anywhere between July 3rd-13th and it came July 3rd. I was even more happy about that.
